Apprentice Program 2008

The Apprentice Program is designed as an introduction to the various aspects of theatre, and is for students age 12 and older.  Apprentices take daily classes and participate in workshop hours, gaining experience in acting, scenic, costume, and general theatre upkeep.  The Apprentice Coordinator develops and implements the curriculum in consultation with the season’s Producers and Technical Staff.

The 2008 Summer Season program will consist of a five-week session, beginning June 30 and ending August 1.  Class and practicum hours are Monday through Friday from 1pm to 5pm.

Tuition for the Apprentice program is $100.  This fee covers tours, workshops, a black backstage t-shirt, and a one-year membership to SCCT.  Scholarships are available for those in need.

Apprentices will have the opportunity to serve on a run-crew for one of the regular summer season shows as backstage crew, light board operator, sound board operator, or assistant stage manager.  Please note: There is NO adult supervision at the Barn from 5pm to 7pm.  Apprentices serving on run crew must be picked up at 5pm and returned as scheduled for performances.

A separate session will be held for the Apprentice Show.  The show will be cast by audition within the apprentice class.  The Apprentice Show session will begin August 11 with a standard two-week rehearsal schedule plus three days of technical and dress rehearsals.  Performances are scheduled for Wednesday through Saturday, August 27-30.

Intern Program 2008

The Intern Program is designed for those who have at least two years of apprentice experience, or other comparable experience.  Interns should be at least 15 years old.  The Intern program is a 10-week session, in which Interns specialize in one particular area of the theatre, working directly with technical staff members.  The Interns' daily schedule will be set in consultation with their respective staff member.  Interns can specialize in one of the following areas with the following personnel:

·  Scenery  (Resident Designer Jon Vickers-Jones)
·  Costume  (Resident Designer Edna Rentschler)
·  Lighting  (Resident Designer Sue Polay)
·  Sound  (Resident Designer Michael Blake)
·  Theatre Administration  (Business Manager Jerry Henry and Office Manager Marcus Comly)
·  Stage Management  (Producers Tom McClary and Regina Brannen)

Interns are also expected to serve as run crew members in their specialization.  Positions available for interns include light board operator, sound board operator, wardrobe mistress, assistant stage manager, house manager, or box office staff.  Many interns crew more than one show.

Interns are also given the unique opportunity of serving as Designers for the Apprentice Show.  Working in consultation with their respective staff member, Interns will attend production meetings with producers, and will be responsible for implementation of their designs from start to finish.

Tuition for the 10-week Intern Session is $250.  This fee includes workshops, supplies, a black backstage t-shirt, and a one-year SCCT membership.  Scholarships are available to those in need.  The Interns' first day is tentatively scheduled for June 16.
